Two of our Cape Elizabeth High School students were selected to speak about their solar-based, renewable energy lawn care business, Solar Mow, at the April 2022 TEDxYouth@CEHS event.
Dimitri and Philip Coupe (rising seniors) have since been interviewed for a front-page article in the Portland Press Herald newspaper (July 5, 2022).

Teen twin brothers run all-electric, solar-powered lawn care business Three years ago, Dimitri and Philip Coupe launched an all-electric lawn care business called Solar Mow. Today they're up to 30 customers and continue to grow.
In April (2022) we produced our 5th TEDxYouth@CEHS event at Cape Elizabeth High School. It's been quite a ride. The Pandemic dashed our hopes in 2020 so we were thrilled to have a live show this past spring. The following links will take you to our official TED pages where there are additional links on the left side of the page to all of the talks and photos from each program. Enjoy!
